has been fixed as the order of the day i'll
the Unterhaus for the goth inst. At the
recent short conference the National Liberal
leaders were disposed to assent to the bill,
after stating in the course of the debate
that their acceptance would be conditional
on no further concessions being made
During the vacation the controversy has
become most bitter. The unceasing hostile
language of the Catholic press has caused
revulsion in the pacificmood of the National
Liberal and Conservative papers. Instead
of now discussing the acceptance of the
measure as passed by the Oberhaus. the
National Liberals are disposed to reject the
bill unless all of Bishop Kopp's amendments
are stricken out. In Difference to Prince
Bismarck they will consent to the
adoption of the original bill. but will
not go step beyond. On the other hand,
the Centre party brings forward again the
whole OF Bishop Kopps proposals. includ-
ing those which the committee of the Ober-
haus refused to entertain. Dr.. Windt-
horst's reported submission to the Vatican
is only provisional. If the Conservative
and National Liberal groups oppose the en-
tire freedom of the recalled religious Or
ders, including the right of tuition in

AS these very points find the bitterest Op-
position, the chances of pacific settlement
seem remote.
INTENSE IRRITATION
prevails on both sides. The Centreists avow
their readiness to submit to the curia, but
maintain that Prince Bismarck has out
witted the Vatican, and that Mgr Calm
berti'S mission was failure. The National
Liberals consider that Prince Bismarck has
been grossly deceived in trying to dominate
the Centre party through the Pope
The Cologne Gazette of yesterday predicts
that Bismarck will be ready to go still
further in making of concessions. and will
yield to the demand of the Centreists for
all of the Kopp proposals. While it is be-
yond doubt that the proposition of the Con-
servatiVeS and National Liberals will de-
feat the combined Centerists and new Ger
man Liberals, and that the bill will be re-
ferred to committee, it may require the
decisive exercise of the governments infu-
ence to prevent its rejection. The fiscal
proposals in course OF preparation for the
reIchstag are now known to include new
consumers taxlon brandy and sugar, bill
abOlishng the tax on raw beet root mate
rial, and substituting a tax on sugar for
consumption; also reformed bourse tax.
1t is believed that the proposals will be
framed in consonance with the fiscal policy
of the. National Liberals. Not
whisper is now heard in the
ministerial organs suggestive of OBJ
noXious mOnopolies in brandy and tobacco.
Negotiations for the appointment of sue
cessor to Herr Won Keudell, as German en-
basSador to Italy, continue. 1t is reported
that Minister Won Puttkamer has been in
Rome incognito since Sunday last, and that
he will return tomorrow. Count Herbert
Bismarck is mentioned as
SPECIAL ENVOY
charged with the completion of the Austro-
German-italian alliance. The Tagblatt
publishes an interview with Sig. Crispi,
Italian minister of the interior, to the effect
that the new Italian ministry is strongly in
favor of the alliance. Sig. Crispi said
''France, Notwithstanding its democracy,
is Italy's enemy. Those who talk about
Franco-Italian alliance are either idiots or
intriguerS," The Easter Festivities are in
